Connor Storrie to star in A24's 'Peaked' with Emma Mackey

Connor Storrie’s role in the film is currently being kept under wraps

Connor Storrie, who gained widespread recognition for his role in the hit queer hockey drama Heated Rivalry, is in talks to join the cast of A24’s upcoming comedy Peaked. The project marks another major step in the young actor’s rapidly expanding film career.

The film will be directed by Molly Gordon, who also co-wrote the script with Allie Levitan and Corrie is set to star alongside Emma Mackey. The ensemble cast already includes Laura Dern, Simone Ashley, Levon Hawke, Mitra Jouhari and Gabby Windey, with Storrie’s role currently being kept under wraps.

Peaked follows two former high school “queen bees” whose influence left lasting scars on their peers, as they attempt to relive their glory days at their 10-year reunion, a premise that blends nostalgia with sharp comedic edge. Production on the film is expected to begin later this month.

The project is being produced by A24 alongside David Hinojosa, Zach Nutman and Gordon, with Levitan executive producing. Topic Studios is also on board as a co-financier, continuing its collaboration with Gordon after Theater Camp.

Storrie’s casting comes on the heels of the breakout success of Heated Rivalry, the television adaptation of Rachel Reid’s popular Game Changers novels. The series, which explores the complicated romantic relationship between rival professional hockey players, quickly built a strong fan base and has already been renewed for a second season.

With Peaked, Storrie continues to build on that momentum, stepping into an ensemble comedy led by some of Hollywood’s most recognizable names while further solidifying his status as one of the industry’s emerging talents.
